Two years study of prevalence and antibiotic resistance pattern of Gram-negative bacteria isolated from surgical site infections in the North of Iran.
Article in BMC research notes, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe present study aimed to investigate the frequency and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) isolated from surgical site infections (SSIs) in the North of Iran.
resultsThis cross-sectional study conducted over a two-year period during 2018-2020 on all cases of SSIs who had a positive culture for a GNB. Standard microbiological tests were followed for the bacterial isolation and identification. Antimicrobial susceptibility profiles were determined using disk diffusion method. During the study period, a total of 78 nonduplicated GNB isolated from SSIs. The most prevalent surgical procedures were fracture fixation (37.2%), and tissue debridement (23.1%). Klebsiella isolates showed the highest isolation rate (29.5%) followed by Enterobacter (28.2%), and Acinetobacter (16.7%). Antibiotic susceptibility results showed that Acinetobacter isolates were almost resistant to all of the tested antibiotics, except gentamicin, co-trimoxazole, and meropenem. Enterobacteriaceae isolates showed the lowest resistance against amikacin, co-trimoxazole, and imipenem. Overall, 49 (62.8%) of isolates were multiple drug-resistant (MDR). In summary, a remarkable rate of MDR isolates which showed an increasing trend during recent years is a serious alarm for the management of SSIs caused by GNB. Moreover, the results of regional assessments, provide good epidemiological background for comparing our situation with other regions.
